23 Nov 2023 Evaluate

Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Shift Clean Energy (Shift), Seatech Solutions International (Seatech) and the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to develop Electric Tugs E-VOLT 50. The EVOLT 50 aims to reduce carbon emissions, improve operational efficiency, and set new benchmarks for performance and environmental sustainability in the tugboat industry.

GRSE which has established itself as a leading defence shipyard in the country, will build the platform based on the design by M/s Seatech with M/s Shift providing the energy storage and ABS would ensure that the construction and design adhere to all applicable regulatory standards, certifying safety, reliability, and compliance.

GRSE has already made progress towards the building of green vessels. At the moment, the shipyard is building a zero-emission electric ferry for the Government of West Bengal that will have a capacity of 150 passengers. Once commissioned, this ferry promises to redefine passenger services along the Hooghly and other major rivers.

Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers is a shipbuilding company in India under the administrative control of the MoD and primarily adhere to the shipbuilding requirements of the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard.
